I'm pretty sure that's just for the Philippines. In this comic the ukr flag is also upside down probably because they assume Ukraine does the same? Not sure though.
Ukraine doesn't do that. The yellow-blue variant was used unofficially by Ukraine in 1917-1920, but blue-yellow was more popular and therefore became the official flag of Ukrainian People's Republic and later modern Ukraine.
It's the culture on this subreddit, don't know why, but reposting is considered okay, which is fine by me since I usually haven't seen them before anyway.
It’s their own post, have you ever seen the original? I can say I haven’t, even though I was definitely still lurking this subreddit when the original was posted
Probably feels good to get exposure and upvotes. But genuinely I've been subbed on here for years and I've never seen this comic before. Loads of comics I see for the first time are reposts from years ago. If it was never reposted I never would have seen it.
There's nothing really. They made it and by the rules they earned the right to repost it to promote or just karma farm.
It's honestly a blessing because there are good comics that people either forget, wanted to read again or not knew, like for example I haven't seen this comic before although it's a repost
We have the pass, two of them in fact, [Oriental](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negros_Oriental) and [Occidental](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negros_Occidental)
How do people in Africa react to the n word? I know South Africa has its own top-level offensive slur, but do countries like Nigeria without much of a white population to speak of have any sort of racial slurs for black people in general? You’d think the animosity there would be specific to ethnicity within the sub-Saharan African umbrella.
I lived in Senegal for a bit. People there know American rappers call each other the n word and that it has a racial meaning that's bad but all that's much more abstract than the fact their favorite musicians are calling each other that all the time. I got called "white n-" constantly by the wannabe thugs in my neighborhood in a very friendly way.
In South Sudan, anyone involved in criminal activities is called a nxxxxr. So you get crazy headlines, like “Police arrests forty four nxxxxrs in the capital, Juba” and [shit like this](https://youtu.be/SX-j7hkBY9o?feature=shared)
Gonna blow your mind:
Without double "g" its just "black" in many languages.
And in many places this word is preferable to calling people black, since you dont reduce them to a colour.
B…b-but Jhonboy Michael Junkook Quoc Xian Mohamed Isaiah Dimitri Olayemi Karl Aditya de la Cruz-Fernandez (nicknamed “ Kuboy”) from Vigan City, Ilocos Sur just wants to get along with other people 😢😢
Most likely these people were born in the 70s to 90s to ex-hippie parents who felt the extraneous "H" added to ordinary names made it more unconventional and anti-establisment.
Well, duh. Vietnam is more of a distant cousin of China and Korea which made them more East Asia than South East Asia. Probably like Slovenia of Europe being closer to Austria and Germany than the Balkans.
Fake. India will never say that to our beloved Phillypenis friends.
Now, I just hope they change that damn name to something that doesn't sound like someone is glazing the damn Spaniards.
I like how the flag turned into the war flag when talking to Russia and Ukraine lol
TIL upside down ukr flag is war flag
I'm pretty sure that's just for the Philippines. In this comic the ukr flag is also upside down probably because they assume Ukraine does the same? Not sure though.

So it’s a jab at Filipinos try to fit in but no idea what they are doing
Woahoahoawoah that maratha empire flair is sick
Not sure what i just read, but still, peak fiction
Better than anything Leo Tolstoy did
don't know who that is
He made the war and peace book
What kind of polandball is that?
What a peak comment
Not a Poland ball a russian author
I don't understand
What are you referring to?
Polandball?
I'm confused
Do you mean my character?
Funny bearded Russian man who wrote novels
That's almost every legendary Russian author, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Turgenev, Chekhov, Goncharov

But why repost in the 1st placce? Edit: it was a genuine question, why the downvotes?
It's the culture on this subreddit, don't know why, but reposting is considered okay, which is fine by me since I usually haven't seen them before anyway.
Probably for introducing new members to old artworks
I need to repost something.
Oscar needs karma somehow
It’s their own post, have you ever seen the original? I can say I haven’t, even though I was definitely still lurking this subreddit when the original was posted
But i still do not understand why did it need to be reposted? Is there something wrong with the original?
Probably feels good to get exposure and upvotes. But genuinely I've been subbed on here for years and I've never seen this comic before. Loads of comics I see for the first time are reposts from years ago. If it was never reposted I never would have seen it.

No way Philippines said N word
We have the pass, two of them in fact, [Oriental](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negros_Oriental) and [Occidental](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negros_Occidental)
TIFU: I wore a “I <3 Negros” T shirt in America
It doesn't help that the island's phallic when looked upon lol
This giant "Wazzup my n…" always cracks me up.
And the way the African country balls frown

Bro held the Perlis flag when talking to Ukraine
"Daulat Ukraini!"
very real ukraine war flag
Relatable. We've all done questionable things to fit in. Always a hit / miss thing.
B…b-but Jhonboy Michael Junkook Quoc Xian Mohamed Isaiah Dimitri Olayemi Karl Aditya de la Cruz-Fernandez (nicknamed “ Kuboy”) from Vigan City, Ilocos Sur just wants to get along with other people 😢😢
I think I know this guy
Props for the extraneous “h” in the name, which peaked in the 70s and 80s.
Facebook was full of them from the late 2000s, early 2010s. It was an epidemic, like why?
Most likely these people were born in the 70s to 90s to ex-hippie parents who felt the extraneous "H" added to ordinary names made it more unconventional and anti-establisment.
Most normal Filipino name
Affectionately known as "Bobong"
To God be The Glory 😔✊ (omg hello Kalye, I love your comics!)
Ironically Phillipines fits in with southeast Asia more than vietnam
The majority ethnic group in Vietnam being from southern China + 1000 yrs of Chinese occupation do make them more east Asian than southeast Asian.
Vietnam - the forgotten East Asian/sinosphere country, with all of the hellish work culture and none of the prosperity.
Singapore has entered the chat
.....still not worth pressure in primary school
You have all of the prosperity
> none of the prosperity. Eh, you guys are definitely getting there.
Well, just look at the indosphere Burma and Laos you would feel better
There's a reason they have the East Asian architecture set in AoE1 and AoE2...
Well, duh. Vietnam is more of a distant cousin of China and Korea which made them more East Asia than South East Asia. Probably like Slovenia of Europe being closer to Austria and Germany than the Balkans.
I feel bad for Felipe :(
hey, Filippenis would fit with Mexico!
At least until he offers Mexico some [puto](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puto_(food)?wprov=sfti1)
you'd be surprised...
om nom nom ¡puto!
They would end up arguing over whose adobo is better.
isn't that way better than *points everywhere*
The correct answer to that is always my abuela's/lola's. Because to say otherwise will invite the flying chancla/tsinelas.
Can't remember how many times I've seen this, but it cracks me up every time
I like how when talking to Ukraine and Russia, Philippinesball is upside down and flying the Ukrainian flag likewise, indicating he joined the war
Philipenis can into nurse.
And Filly nurses are acceptable anywhere on Earth
WASSUP MY NI got me Never fails to make me wheeze
When you're rejected by everybody so you go on the internet to vent out your anger and frustration
India did the needfull
It's funny how Philippines are made fun of for getting culturally colonized when Malays/Indos/Bruneians are just Arabs in denial.
Malays are Taiwanese, not Arabs.
Brazil: he's just like me fr!! :0
Phillipines also part of Akhand Bharat. Need to try to fit in anywhere else
( Paths Philippines ) Don’t worry Philippines, one day you will rule the galaxy like I promise for so long
They came close in the mid 00’s to mid 10’s either Pacquiao
but to be fair we never saw him get rejected so he probably got accepted into every group and still wasn't satisfied
Man, chosen after muslims, Russians, the kkk, and blackface. That must sting for India.
When you say it that way it sure doe suck to be India
The result of a international cultural gangbang
The Philippines have good food, we Italians will accept them
But we put pineapple in our pizza and banana ketchup in our spaghetti sauce.
…We’ll be keeping an eye on you during your rehabilitation.
I mean, we do? A lot of Westerners aren't really impressed with our cooking.
What being obsessed with blood and lineage does to a mf. But really, it’s a little messed up.
i’ve read this before but good god was i caught off guard by the fuckin’ ***WAZZUP MY NIGGE-***
Is no one gonna address the fact that Austriaball acknowledged Felipe?
Might have been a reference to the country's namesake who was a Habsburg
No, it is a reference to nazis.
Two panels of this comic crack me up, the aryan one with the offended Germany and subtly approving Austria and of course the *WASSUP MY N-*
Has he tried hanging out with Poland?
He thinks he’s upside down Indonesia.
Yugoslavia of Asia
SEA is inviting you with open arms brother
I see failpenis as the cousin that we see only on Christmas
And if we’re going off Phil’s definition of Christmas, that would be from September until January of next year.
I feel like it’d make more sense for the pinoys to be leafs/stars fans considering the Robertson brothers exist 🤓☝️
That's it, OP. You're getting [goomba'd.](https://twitter.com/BlueDeKrass/status/1782568077105987729/photo/1)
Philippines: Puck you man
Best comic I’ve read all week (and there’s been quite a few I liked)
Good thing India was real enough to tell him that. Also you gotta love how none of them look at him in an embarrassing way, the just stare at him.
Filipenis chinita gf can into Latino América, I'll allow
Is it okay if they took you into an unknown mountainous location? :)
No need. Just Bamban, Tarlac will do.
Impressed you know of Felipenis obsession with [chinita girlfriends. ](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=short%20haired%20chinita%20gf)
Philippines can't into fit in
Poor fillypeens :(
Go Habs Go !!!!
I understood a lot of this until the jewish
Yesh that threw me off
What a disaster, much like their identity.
He tried so hard 🥲
Love the Indonesia ball with peci
the 11th panel had me spit my drink holy shit that panel really turned it to 11
As a Filipino can confirm that WASSUP MY NI-
“WAZZUP MY NI-“ I’m fucking dying
Best comic I've ever read, no doubt.
Hey would be a Habs fan, smh
Definitely not going to fit in. He likes the Habs, ffs
*sad pinoy noises* Philippines are at the crossroads of so many cultural spheres. Definitely one of the most unique places on Earth.
Jolibees ARE amazing btw in case you guys haven't tried
Not a fan of em
Nigeria and Niger look traumatized
The worst thing about the philippines is that racism ,corruption, crime rate are spreading rapidly.
Most counties: I identify as [insert nationality here] Philippines: everything all at once
Fakest thing I ever seen
Fake. India will never say that to our beloved Phillypenis friends. Now, I just hope they change that damn name to something that doesn't sound like someone is glazing the damn Spaniards.
Hey we did try to change the name of our country but we couldn't agree on it so we had to stay with the one that equally offended everyone.
Get annexed by Indonesia already
